Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. We are all sons and daughters of Savitribai Phule, the great revolutionist of Maharashtra who gave us the gift of 'education for all'. - Devendra Fadnavis. Less than 200 years ago, when Savitribai Phule was born, life in India was very different from the way we know it today. One's rights as a human being were determined entirely by one's birth; there were different sets of rules for men and women, Brahmins and Shudras. It was simply not possible to cross the lines. Savitribai Phule dared to break these rules. As Indian's first female teacher, she demanded the impossible: 'dignity and education for all'. Supported every step of the way by her widowed mother Sagunabai Kshirsagar and her friend and fellow teacher Fatima Sheikh, Savitribai waged an all-out war against social inequities. Ostracized, abused and tormented, these three women persevered nevertheless against the oppressive forces of society, not just to enable the education of women but for the emancipation of widows, untouchables and backward castes as well.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. The Stranger in the Mirror is the memoir of the legendary producer-director, Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra. Co-written by noted marketer-author, Reeta Ramamurthy Gupta, this book chronicles the richly experiential, multi-faceted life of one of India's most celebrated and feted directors who has made critically acclaimed films like Rang De Basanti, Delhi-6 and Bhaag Milkha Bhaag. Though it may seem natural for an autobiography to have a primary narrator, what makes this book truly unique is its many narrators. It is this multi-dimensional, multi-character narration that will enable readers to delve deep and truly understand what it means to be as unselfish as Mehra, a man who gleefully steps back and lets the experts do their job. Peppered with anecdotes from Mehra's lifefrom the chai-biscuit college days to the popping of the proverbial champagneit implores readers to pay attention to understand who is narrating, because the plot may have just shifted a little bit, just like his movies. At the end, what really stands out is how effortless the journey has actually been. And herein lies the greatest paradox because there is no lack of perseverance in this journey. The miraculous manner in which things fall into place naturally, like pieces of a pre-ordained puzzle with the universe acting as the 'sutradhar', is the fulcrum around which the joy of this remarkable journey is built.…

Today, Savitribai is widely acknowledged as a champion of the downtrodden. Reeta Ramamurthy Gupta's detailed and incisive biography reveals the inner life of the icon to whom the modern Indian woman owes so much.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Contents: 1. The 'Passionate Patriot'. 2. In a 'Different Boat'. 3. Between two escapes and after. 4. The Indian National Army. 5. Heir to a life immortal. 6. Chronology. 7. Bibliography. "He had one dream, one passion, and one sole purpose in life -- India's freedom. Qualifying for the prestigious Indian Civil Service for which young men hankered, he refused the ICS as an 'emblem of servitude'. Selfless, he dedicated his life to his country, undertaking untold hardships and daring to do things that can only be described as daunting. 'India, our motherland', was for him 'God's beloved land', at whose alter he finally laid down his life. Destiny's child, his fiery revolutionary ideas made him a controversial man among his party men and isolated him from the icons of the Indian freedom movement -- Gandhi and Nehru. Of all Congressmen of his time, he was more frequently jailed, branded by the British Government as the most dangerous man. After his last and eleventh imprisonment, he escaped to Germany and then to the far east from where he led, with Japanese help, his Indian National Army across the borders of Eastern India. 'Chalo Dilli' was his battle cry. But fate decided otherwise. As the British advanced to the east, the Japanese army and the INA retreated. It is believed, he died in a plane crash in Taiwan."

Soft cover. Zustand: New. He was a natural; one of the most powerful actors.' --Narendra Modi The 1970s were indeed the golden era of Bollywood. In the decade that revolutionized Hindi cinema, there was one actor who was every director's fail-safe artiste. When he entered the frame, the audience would sigh with relief, 'Nothing can go wrong now!' Sanjeev Kumar was the antithesis of the typical Bollywood hero doing romance and action. Not one to crave glamorous roles, he was more interested in versatility. From his mature roles in films like Mausam and Aandhi to his comic timing in Angoor or the angst of person with disabilities in Koshish-he was truly a thinking man's actor. His expressive face, inflections and pauses, natural ease for lip-syncing, all of it made him the complete package. Written by his nephew Uday Jariwala and Reeta Ramamurthy Gupta, this biography takes us through Sanjeev Kumar's journey to becoming one of the greatest actors Bollywood has seen, with personal essays by his friends Gulzar, Randhir Kapoor, and co-stars Sharmila Tagore, Moushumi Chatterjee, Tanuja, among others.…
